Preschool Snacks

This week I was charged with providing snack for my daughter's preschool class:)

Rather then just sending in a couple of boxes of crackers or cut up fruit I decided to make it a little more interesting!  After much searching on the Internet and Pinterest this is what I came up with...

Monday:  Rainbow Fruit
Cut up Strawberries (red), Cantaloupe (orange), Pineapples (yellow), Melon (green), grapes (purple) and arranged in the shape of a rainbow.  Added mini marshmallows at the end as clouds! 

{I didn't realize until after I got home from the store that I forgot the blueberries!!!  But I think the kids forgave me:) }

{Inspiration here}


 
Tuesday: Butterfly Snack
Filled up half of a snack bag with goldfish and the other half with Triscuits.  Tied a pipe cleaner around the middle and curved the ends to look like antennas. 


I actually made a slightly different version in June, but since she has a different teacher and different classmates, I thought I could do it again!!

 
Stay tuned for the rest of the weeks snacks!!

Linking up to these great parties:)

Baking Fun!

Over the weekend we celebrated hubby's grandma's 80th birthday!!

Over a year ago, for my little one's first birthday, I had made heart shaped cookies which each of the kids names on top.  



They came out so good, I decided to try that idea again; but this time as Nonna's 80th birthday favors.

Hubby was playing with my little peanut while I was rolling out the dough and cutting out the hearts but she was soon in the kitchen at my feet!

She has helped me cook before by pouring in the ingredients, but this time I cheated and bought pre-made cookie dough:)  

I asked her if she wanted to help and of course she said yes.  So I put her in one of my aprons and grabbed my step stool for her to stand on.  To say she had fun would be a HUGE understatement!!!  I gave her some flour and a bit of dough to roll and shape.  Here are some pics from our first (and most definitely not last) cookie baking day.








And our finished product!
